Aspects environnementaux

The operation will contribute to climate action mitigation objectives through energy efficiency and renewable energy generation, reducing CO2 emissions and air pollution, supporting the implementation of the " Energy Efficiency Directive (EED)" EU 2023/1791 and the EU "Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD)" EU 2010/31, as recast by Directive EU 2024/127. The investments are expected to be implemented in existing buildings and (if any) only minor negative temporary environmental impacts (noise, dust) might be expected, which are expected to be mitigated by proper works management. Therefore, due to the type and scope of the investments, it is expected that none of the projects will require an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) under the EIA Directive 2011/92/EU (as amended by Directive 2014/52/EU). The EIB will nevertheless review during the project appraisal whether any of the investments could fall under Annex II of EIA Directive, as well as the compliance with applicable EU environmental legislation.
